The thought of a Mass Effect MMO...
[spoiler]First, yes I've been making a lot of posts. Sorry, I guess. :/[/spoiler]
This idea kinda just came to me...the idea of a Mass Effect MMO, similiar to how Star Trek Online, only with Mass Effect, and a custom crew and all. Getting to choose whether to be part of the Alliance, the Turians, Asari, or maybe a mercenary faction. Maybe getting to make a custom character with a custom class and upgrades, similiar to the main series.
Maybe there might be different campaigns, like maybe the Alliance has to fight Cerberus or some batarians (Skyllian Blitz/ Reaper War, maybe?) or the turian's have to deal with humans (possible First Contact War stuff?)
Maybe there'd be special events, such as maybe some rebelling Krogans or a massive force such as the Geth maybe try to invade a planet and the factions have to team up.
Maybe the land combat could be similiar to the main series, while air combat is similiar to, say, EVE Online, or something around those lines.
Or maybe add a system where the (who knows how many) factions end up fighting for different sectors of the galaxy, similiar to Star Wars Conquest, or Planetside 2.
Add maybe some factions later on, like Aria's forces on Omega, or Cerberus, or hell, even maybe add the Krogan. (Of course not DLC.)
And finally, have it before the events of the first Mass Effect, before Shepard and his/her crew. Or have it whenever (I'd say ideally between 2140-2180).
I don't know, but would you guys want to see a game similar to that?

As a die-hard Mass Effect fan, I just want the franchise to die with dignity. Too often nowadays do companies run a great franchise into the ground for a couple of extra bucks. If they never make another Mass Effect I'll be happy that it's legacy (in my eyes) is near flawless. I don't need to see another several releases of declining quality, that would just disappoint me
-
That sounds real neato but the franchise has been shelved by EA. 90% of games shelved by EA never return.
-
Lol so we can get swtor part 2? Turning a single player game into an mmo is a bad idea.
-
The thought of any future Mass Effect game seems a bit far fetched at this point.

I'd avoid placing it around a major conflict. The first contact war was only three months long and was predominantly limited to Shanxi. On top of that, it'd limit players to humans or Turians. Then there's only a 30 year gap until the Reaper War with no major conflicts between. You could have it take place during the Reaper War but it wouldn't make sense to have you galavanting around the galaxy a la Shepherd because, well, that was Shepherd's job while everyone else was buying him/her time. The other way to go would be to make everyone fringe colonists fighting off pirates and slavers (which could get old fast) or make everyone Spectres (doable, but a bit silly to have that many Spectres running around). In all honesty, you'd probably be best off having it in Andromeda post initial colonization. The pathfinders have done their job establishing colonies and further expansion is just gravy. Alternatively, you could say there were multiple Initiatives (why specify [b][i]Andromeda[/i][/b] Initiative unless there were more, right?)) and have the game take place in Triangulum or one of the multitude of Milky Way satellite galaxies. Maybe that Initiative didn't utilitize Pathfinders as SAM was an Andromeda Inititive experiment only (Andromeda Initiative = AI = Artificial Intelligence... Illuminati confirmed) [i][/i] Gameplay wise, I think it could work really well. Mass effect already has classes and had "prestige" classes to allow for branching builds. You could tweak it a bit but the framework is there. Also, I call Hanar, although I'd be happy with Salarian, too.

1 ReplyWith how terrible Amdromeda is... And seeing the drop in quality from Elder Scrolls to ESO. I think it would go the same route b2p - f2p. Being saved by the die-hard fans of the series.

MMO's can be pricey gambits. And given how toxic the Mass Effect IP has become I doubt we'll be seeing it, or other Mass Effect games, in the foreseeable future.

1 ReplyAndromeda seems to be leaning that way. Probably why I didn't like it very much. Never liked MMOs.
-
1 ReplyI no longer have patience for MMO's, and i didnt have patience for Andromeda, it felt like 75% chore. Nothing wrong with the game, just my taste changed A MassEffect MMO would be good for those nights where i just cant fall asleep. Just the thought of the game and im already feeling sleepy

3 RepliesI've lost a bit of faith in the Mass Effect franchise due to Andromeda.

1 ReplyEdited by DeusFever: 6/8/2017 12:59:28 PMThe open world was lackluster in MEA, and I think an MMO Mass Effect would be more of that but worse because other players would always gett in the way of your adventure.

1 ReplyCool idea.

1 ReplyNow remember, it aint Mass Effect till you can romance [i]anyone[/i]. [spoiler]Jk, this sound awesome.[/spoiler]

3 RepliesEdited by TheArtist: 6/7/2017 3:03:49 PMExcellent idea. I'd play that game. The only problem is that----like with Mass Effect: Andromeda---you'd have to contend with fanbase expectations. Playing an MMO, is a very different experience than playing a single-player, very tightly-knit, single-player campaign.

4 RepliesGod no, most of the mass effect fan base is cringey is shit

Eh i dunno I know The Old Republic MMO isnt made by Bioware but it didnt really capture the "Feel" of Knights of the Old Republic as it was an MMO Now, Andromeda's Open World would actually work pretty well with not an MMO Style, but more a "Destiny" Style Think about it You could have... A Squad of 4 Players (Nomad Seats 4) Running around Other Squads on the Map (like, at least 10 more Squads) That vary in size, but most of them will be your Squad Size Seperate Gamemodes for PvP (so like 5 Squad FFA or 5 Squad Vs 5 Squad PvP) PLUS Andromeda's "Pan-Into-Conversation" Mechanic would Work with it, as the Conversations are in Real Game Time I think it Could work

If you could [i]sec[/i] other players, then it'd be lit

My wet dream tbh

Haven´t played star trek online, but ME MMOrpg could work, i can see that, bc of that universe, how the questing works, and (to me) the combat´s already boring enough, wouldn´t be a big loss if they´d adjust it to MMO´s restrictions. [spoiler]combat´s never been ME´s strong suit, hasn´t it? so why not get the "benefits" of an MMO instead, player/guild based crews, co-op quests, grind for gear, housing and such[/spoiler] So, yeah, i´d onboard with it.
-
It could be pretty awesome, but in order for it to be awesome I feel like micro transactions would have to be kept to a minimum, which would probably deter anyone from actually publishing the game.
-
You have some good ideas and it would be cool if done right but most likely it would be like ESO in space I don't think biowear could pull it off
-
Mass Effect MMO would be cool!

1 ReplyI actually would love to see this go back to development.
